Some of the FlashDogs have been getting nostalgic in recent times - and there is nothing wrong with nostalgia. They have been harking back to the times of Flash! Friday, Micro Bookends and Three Line Thursday ... competitions which were the focal point of the pack and which are still sorely missed. As I started to compile flash written during those years of continual and ongoing competition, I came across this poem I wrote as an homage to them all:
Goodbye On Friday everything changed But you wouldn’t have noticed Despite Thursday’s silence The portent proclaiming The beginning of the end With no painted words Or multiple triplets birthed From brush-stroked lives And as that picture vanished Lines went missing elsewhere Stolen from criminal bookends Whose grip handcuffed thought Robbed some of more Than a little a reason Once upon a time Until sentence was served Even as I write, Friday fades, Becomes a freeze-frame moment Of stories gone in a flash While the remorseless clock Counts down the minutes To when we must say goodbye And turn the page together *** Many, many thanks to Flash! Friday, MicroBookends and Three Line Thursday
